Tinsley is overrated, she's cute, sometimes endearingly delusional and brought Dale, that's about the end of it. Sonja should have been a friend of since season 7/8. Aviva had potential, brought a lot of memorable and quotable moments, but the self producing was a bit too obvious at times. Carole was great for her role in the franchise and whoever can get Bethenny pressed like that is great in my eyes.
I feel like my rankings might be very similar to some users… I’ll still share them though. I will NOT tolerate the Sonja slander though. Season Rankings Great Seasons: 3, 7-10, Good Seasons: 5-6, 11, 12 Average to Good Seasons: 1-2, 4 I’ll Watch It When I Need To Sleep: 13 Cast Rankings: GOAT: Ramona, Bethenny, Dorinda Great: Luann, Jill, Sonja, Carole, Heather Good: Aviva, Alex, Tinsley, S12 Leah, Kelly Meh: Kristen, Eboni Who???: Jules, Cindy, S13 Leah
Season Rankings Great Seasons: 2-3, 5-11 Good Seasons: 1, 12 Average to Good Seasons: 4 Down in the Depths of Beverly Hills' Bad Seasons: 13 Cast Rankings: GOAT: Ramona, Bethenny, Dorinda, Heather Great: Alex, Luann, Jill, Sonja, Carole, Tinsley, Kristin, Aviva, Elyse, Bershan Good: Jules, Barbara Meh: Cindy Who???: Eboni, Leah, Jen Writing all that out reminds me why this is one of the greatest TV series of all time. It makes S13 all the more brutal.
One can hope Season 14 course corrects and it goes back to its glory. I just can’t see it going that way if Leah stays and/or Ramona and Sonja goes. Dorinda and Bethenny need to return and destroy everyone.
I always forget Jen Gilbert ever existed. I feel like Candace Bushnell being terrorized by Dorinda, Bridie or Lucia asking if it was okay to invite Sonja to Ramona's birthday party made more of an impact than she ever did... legendary behavior, if you ask me.
If we're talking about their iconic moments:episodes ratio, Aviva was top tier and VITAL to bringing the franchise over the line before Dorinda slurred into the picture. Sonja has given the same storyline for the past decade.

...Carole is your absolute favorite?? Ever?? Her storyline was once a vegan cookbook slash romance novel! I'm gonna be sick.
"You´ve written ONE book. Who do you think you are? John Grisham? What do you think you´re Stephen King?!"
I almost forgot about Elyse. If given her time to shine, she would’ve brought IT. A missed opportunity! Ramona cockblocked her.
